Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.
Chapter 126 I will fully cooperate!
Online, netizens from all walks of life are paying attention.
Even several well-known online legal education hosts have brought up this issue in their respective live streams.
Thanks to Jiang Chen's efforts over this period of time, some of his peers have gradually come to recognize his talent.
And from a legal perspective, they analyzed the case.
Looking across the country, there are absolutely no cases where someone can be convicted of self-defense for causing death by negligence.
This is also the first case that may go down in history!
After Jiang Chen arrived in the area, he met with the wife of the person involved as soon as possible.
The other person's name is Guo Ting, and she is a white-collar worker at a local company.
Her husband, named Dong Xin, is a senior executive at a large company.
The two come from very wealthy families; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to afford such a car.
But because of this incident, it might lead to the breakdown of the family!
Jiang Chen then immediately went to the scene of the crime in the underground parking garage of the residential complex.
He was clearly a professional; he took pictures of the garage entrance surveillance camera, found the vehicle's trajectory, and the location of the load-bearing columns.
He was also able to successfully retrieve the complete surveillance footage of the community's public areas.
This evidence corroborates the contents of the dashcam!
After doing all that, Jiang Chen and Guo Ting sat down. Jiang Chen helped her analyze the current situation and comforted Guo Ting.
"Attorney Jiang, is it really possible to rule that my husband acted in self-defense?"
"I've seen analyses from professionals online; there isn't a single case nationwide where someone has been convicted of causing death and still been ruled as acting in self-defense!"
As she spoke, Guo Ting became somewhat flustered.
There's no precedent for this, so are they the first case?
Compared to Guo Ting's nervousness, Jiang Chen appeared quite calm.
He took a sip of water as if nothing was wrong, and looked at her with calm eyes.
"Sister Guo, the law also needs people to promote it. The issue of legitimate self-defense is a rather sensitive topic in Chinese courts today."
Even if someone is killed due to negligence, it doesn't necessarily mean that the person did it intentionally!
"Given the circumstances of persecution faced by the individual, someone will inevitably be convicted of self-defense on their first attempt!"
"Why can't this person be your husband?"
Jiang Chen exuded confidence in his words.
Guo Ting's emotions also calmed down a bit.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
But her voice was still trembling.
"Attorney Jiang, please tell me, how should I cooperate with you?"
In matters like this, she absolutely must control her emotions.
Only by completely obeying Jiang Chen's orders is there a way out!
"Next, all I need to do is gather evidence and fight the case well in court."
Jiang Chen put down his cup, his eyes resolute.
"As for you, just stay home obediently, and those people will bring us evidence on their own."
"Prepare cameras and recording equipment at your doorstep."
Upon hearing this, Guo Ting asked with some confusion, "Why prepare all these things?"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, as if everything was under control.
"In this case, we are the defendants, but I also need to submit legal documents to the court."
"First, provide criminal defense for your husband, submit a 'Legal Opinion on Not Approving Arrest,' apply that the man's actions constitute legitimate self-defense, withdraw the traffic accident case, and release him from detention."
"Secondly, we will also file a civil countersuit, bringing civil and criminal charges against the remaining two drunk men for disturbing public order, intentionally harming a pregnant woman, and endangering the life of the fetus."
"We need to pursue their criminal charges and demand full compensation, including medical expenses and damages for emotional distress!"
Guo Ting's surprise deepened.
Jiang Chen's intentions went beyond simply exonerating her husband; she even considered countersuing the two men!
"After that, someone from the other party will come to your door and want you to sign a settlement agreement."
"The gist of it is that you and your spouse are asked to voluntarily forgive all the deceased man's faults, acknowledge that the incident was an accident, and no longer pursue any legal responsibility from the three men for causing trouble."
"They will also force you and your husband to waive all claims, and make him bear the funeral and death compensation costs for the deceased!"
Just hearing this is infuriating!
Those two surviving men will surely take advantage of someone's death to distort the truth.
They even colluded with others to pressure Guo Ting into signing a letter of understanding, pardoning all their crimes, and demanding that Guo Ting pay compensation.
The audio and video recording of this process is what Jiang Chen really wants!
"Experiencing something like this... might make you feel wronged."
"But whether you can present a compelling argument in court will be crucial evidence!"
Jiang Chen said firmly.
Guo Ting also realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded silently.
"I understand, Attorney Jiang."
"Compared to my husband, what is this little grievance...?"
"I'll do anything to help my husband!"
"..."
Next, in addition to collecting evidence from various sources, Jiang Chen went to the detention center and met with Guo Ting's husband, Dong Xin.
He had been detained for many days and was already mentally exhausted and dejected.
Even he himself always believed that he had caused someone's death by negligence and that he would be sentenced sooner or later.
Completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Jiang Chen then went through the case details with him point by point, explaining the defense strategy for legitimate self-defense.
He was told seriously that he did not need to take all the blame, but only to truthfully recount the entire process of being forced to take refuge in court.
At the same time, I gave some instructions on the details of responding in court to avoid the other party's rhetoric traps.
Everything is just waiting for the day of the trial!
Seven days later.
This is the date of the first trial.
Jiang Chen, acting as the defendant's representative, arrived at the court early.
Guo Ting came here alone, while Dong Xin was brought to the court by the detention center staff.
Jiang Chen hasn't started a live stream in the past few days.
Instead, they devoted themselves entirely to it, searching for evidence and preparing legal provisions.
Before the court hearing began, the gallery was already full of people.
In addition to the plaintiff's family and the woman's family, there were also many netizens, law enthusiasts, and some media reporters who had made reservations to attend the hearing.
Ten minutes before the court session began, the court clerk had already entered the room.
Due to the official attention given to this case, the trial was broadcast live online as well.
Multiple cameras work together for split-screen live streaming.
This will allow netizens to see the most authentic court proceedings and the reactions from all sides.
Jiang Chen and two others were sitting in the dock.
Guo Ting looked at her husband, who had become thinner in the past few days, and forced back the tears in her eyes.
Although she had been detained for less than ten days, she could hardly imagine how much suffering her husband had endured!
Three people were also seated in the plaintiff's seat.
They are the other two parties involved that day, one named Zhou Desheng and the other named Zhang Zhiyuan.
The defense lawyer, Ye Heng, was a level-two lawyer at a local law firm, in his thirties.
This lawyer has a pretty good track record and is a well-known lawyer in the area.
In his view, there is no good or bad in cases; it's just a matter of taking a position and doing one's job.
Furthermore, the plaintiff's family also promised him a considerable amount of legal fees.
Soon, the court clerk arrived first.
"Now, let's begin counting the attendees!"
